Abstract

Despite the difficulty to reach a definition of "Higher Education", the national and international literature has highlighted the necessity not to consider Higher Education as an exclusive prerogative of Academy, because this choice could reduce his educational, social and economic value. In fact, full education of the human person should involve also every social and vocational aspects of his/her existence. Starting from this premise, the following paper aims to investigate the cultural and ideological resistances, especially in Italian tradition, have delayed the development of non-academic higher education.
